34 habit conveniently easy for the sake of plot. Some of the sex scenes were very explicit with raw language. There are also scenes of orgies and sexual slavery, which I was not keen on reading more of. Phoenix, the heroine, was well written and well conceived. She is a stripper who refuses to let people use and define her. She takes care of herself, handles sleazy club owners, is comfortably sexual on her own terms, and a truly smart. She is likable. It is therefore puzzling as to why all the other women in the book (other than deceased mother and a kid sister) are mainly reduced to hair color and breast size. They rarely speak a word unless offering sexual services and mainly referred to as ’sluts’. Even by the heroine. And the final act of violence, which I won’t spoil, did not sit well with me. Verdict…this is for a specific audience. It is dark, edgy erotica. Read only if that is what you are looking for. Advertisement
